Comments Thread For: Canelo: Can't Base Everything on Sparring Sessions With Golovkin

[Robi13]

Golovkin wasn't 185 pounds then...

How does it feel to go for ggg in your heart but know canelo will win? Lmao mamon

There you go for a you Triple g nuttriders who keep saying Triple g schooled Canelo in sparring.
Canelo was 20 at the time and they both said it. It's just sparring. You can't predict anything based on sparring. So all you ****ing idiots who thinks that their sparring session matters in this fight. It don't!
It'll be a great fight that either fighter can win.

Does the first response to a thread really need you acting like a dbag?

Both are honest and realistic going into the fight.

At this point Canelo's big power shots are most likely on par with Golovkin's. I just think Canelo's big shots are more pronounced while GGG's are heavy and steady throughout.

I think Canelo is more dangerous in the first 4 rounds, and if those go by in a relatively uneventful way- then GGG will be more dangerous for the rest of the fight.

I wonder if GGG's team expect Canelo to come on early? If both sides were to come out round 1 with guns blazing this could easily a Hagler/Hearns kind of match up. Both guys can blast each other. I'm not sure they'll show that kind of reckless abandon though, no reason to think they would do that.

I expect fresh chin checks in both directions. This is the kind of fight that has a high probability of showing us sides of these guys (vulnerabilities) none of us have seen yet.

Can't wait for this.

I think that is a real stretch to say Canelo carries the same power as Golovkin. Based on what?

I don't think Canelo is any more dangerous in the first 4 rounds than Golovkin. I think we'll know after 2 rounds how this fight is going to go.

I think Canelo would be insane to get into a Haglar/Hearns type of war. If he wins I think it is by withstanding Golovkin's fire powering and outboxing out working Golovkin. I don't see Canelo stopping Golovkin.

I'm definitely excited to see this fight because we'll learn a lot about both guys.

Totally insane, he got better odds if he just sticks to boxing.

I think that once canelo nullifies gggs "power" it's easy pickings all night for canelo. Canelo is gonna win fairly easily and all you guys saying it's a even fight will be exposed as graduates for the university of ydksab

Even the age difference will tell that even though both fighters have grown and developed, Canelo would have to have developed as he aged from a much younger guy to an older one. Will that be enough....hard to say. Canelo should not be a sizable underdog. He can win.

It's definitely just total speculation on my part- but what I mean to say is I think Canelo digging in and really exerting himself to throw a KO punch compared to GGG doing the same thing: I think their power in this regard is probably pretty close. Canelo is a big puncher and he's growing as he ages. He's likely still approaching his physical peak.

But as far as them doing their work/boxing/setting up offense- I think GGG carries more power with his baseline punches.

I think Canelo is a trickier fighter though, I think he'll set better traps and do higher IQ work offensively. But if GGG can take his best shots early on and shrug it off, then Golovkin may overwhelm him.

Canelo's power in general is probably being downplayed too much, and Golovkin's boxing ability is also being downplayed a lot. I think in both cases one edges out the other, but the gaps I don't believe are as extreme as some think.

I guess that's news to me. I've been following a lot of these Canelo/GGG threads and never read anyone claiming that GGG schooled Canelo in sparring. I agree though, even if he did it doesn't matter. That was 6 years ago.

Hopefully this fight lives up to the hype and no BS decisions or drama.

The sad thing is, as good of a fight as this should be, nobody is talking about it. The only fight in the spotlight is the crapshow of Mayweather McGreggor.

he did school him thoguh, theres two seperate accounts of it. the ring magazine published the sparring notes, dougie fisher said he got wobbled twice and ggg had to take foot off the gas. another source verified it. things have changed since then so it doesnt matter on fight night but by the two accounts ggg won the spar quite clearly.

Sparring is sparring and it wont be a true reflection of a fight. more so when it is 6 years ago. Alot have changed since then.
